The Arab revolution, that marked the downfall of the mighty dictators in
Tunisia and Egypt, which is spreading to the neighboring states and
even to the southern Africa, has been largely enabled by the social
media. Social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter have been the
key mediums through which the protesters organized themselves to take to
the streets and overcome the military forces. Thus, it's no wonder that
an Egyptian couple named their newly born daughter 'Facebook' to honor
the role the social networking site played in the revolution that
resulted in the ouster of longtime President Hosni Mubarak.seo company india

It all started in Tunisia where the news of the protests started
spreading through social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter
with people posting their own video footage. At the beginning of the
pretests, only these social media were the sources that the outside
world had to look for the developments. The Tunisian government tried to
block these sites and had put in malicious code that collects private
user names and passwords of the users. The accounts of bloggers and
journalists have severely censored and stole their credentials. However,
protesters continued to post images and videos of the rallies and of
people who were killed in the unrest. They mocked the government's
efforts to deny the access to the web with slogans such as "Free From
404", the Internet language for 'file not found' online and in the
streets. Zine El Abidine Ben Ali did not have any other choice but to
flee the country putting an end to his 24 years of regime marked by high
prices, unemployment and oppression of individual freedom.

Smelling the danger, Hosni Mubarak quickly shut down the internet in
Egypt at the onset of the uprising there. Protesters were able to
organize huge rallies in different cities overnight with the help of
Facebook and Twitter. Watching the protesters on the web, people who
chose to sit the fence were encouraged to come out and the numbers kept
growing. The mobilization process was so fast with the internet that the
government often had no clue about where the next rally could be.

Google contributed largely to the success of the revolutions by
satellite photography with Google Earth and photographing city streets
and neighborhoods. Google with its many web assets like Feedburner and
Blogger helped the uprising by assembling information from the
subscriber lists to blog newsfeeds and emails, providing identity of
blog owners, which blogs link to other blogs having common political or
ideological interests, etc. Google was accused of collecting information
about home wireless networks during the times of unrest. When the
internet access was cuff off, the search engine developed a workaround
that allowed users to send Twitter messages over phone lines. You
Tube
also created a hub to promote videos from protestors in Tahrir Square.

Google executive Wael Ghonim was one of the organizers leading the
prestest. He managed a Facebook fanpage about Mohamed ElBaradei and used
social media to mobilize demonstrators with his 'We Are Khaled Said'
Facebook page. Appearing on "60 Minutes" with Harry Smith, he said,
"Our revolution is like Wikipedia, okay? Everyone is contributing
content,but you don't know the names of the people contributing the
content. This is exactly what happened. Revolution 2.0 in Egypt was
exactly the same. Everyone contributing small pieces, bits and pieces.
We drew this whole picture of a revolution. And no one is the hero in
that picture." Google's then CEO, Eric Schmidt said, "We are very very
proud of what Wael Ghonim was able to do in Egypt."

The Libyan revolution is heating up and the bloodshed is likely to
continue. It is to be seen how long Muammar Gaddafi's machine guns and
air strikes can suppress the power of democratic uprising. The
communication during the moments of historic crisis in the Arab region
has been credited to the social media that broadcasted ideas and
unlimited publication of the stories of protests. Thus the success of
these revolts has also been the gift of social media. It's a call to the
dictators and ruthless rulers to watch out that in this heavily
networked world, a Twitter Revolution is not far away from them.
